When I got bored of getting drunk. When I realized that I really like to be home at night instead of out with the crazy drivers in Phoenix.

Watching the cousin who used to be the baby of the family head off to college. If fact all the mile stones the younger cousins hit just reminds of how long ago I hit those.

My upcoming 10 year reunion.

I remember a while back I was listening to an old Beatles Album and my daughter's friend was over. She asked my daughter who it was that was playing and my daughter said, "Just some old group Paul McCartney was with before he was in Wings."

LOL, that made me feel not old, but ancient.

I talked to a hot girl the other day and when I realized she was only 19, I shook my head and walked away...Too young for me.

It's been 14 years since my beloved Niners won the Superbowl...

Yesterday my roommate asked my how my weekend was, and I told him I was stoked because I got awesome sleep.
